Hello, I'm trying to natively rebuild (on a Debian GNU/Hurd system) some binaries from the hurd source package (20090404-1), but I can't figure out how to solve a compilation error.
My system has been recently updated using "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" commands. The installed gcc compiler is: # gcc -v Using built-in specs. Target: i486-gnu Configured with: ../src/configure -v --with-pkgversion='Debian 4.3.4-2' --with-bugurl=file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.3/README.Bugs --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++ --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-multiarch --enable-linker-build-id --with-system-zlib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --enable-nls --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.3 --program-suffix=-4.3 --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-objc-gc --enable-mpfr --with-tune=generic --enable-checking=release --build=i486-gnu --host=i486-gnu --target=i486-gnu Thread model: posix gcc version 4.3.4 (Debian 4.3.4-2) I have succesfully downloaded the hurd source package with the following output: # apt-get source hurd Reading package lists...

Is it a general issue or is it local to my installation ? Thanks for any advice.
